OriginOld English sunu, of Germanic origin; related to Dutch zoon and German Sohn, from an Indo-European root shared by Greek huios. An Old English word, which goes back to an Indo-European root with the idea of ‘birth’. When we call someone a son of a gun we are using a term that probably came from naval history. The gun was one of the guns carried on board ships, and the phrase is supposed to have been applied to babies born at sea to women allowed to accompany their husbands. If the father was not known, the child was described in the ship's log as a ‘son of a gun’. Sonny Jim, now a slightly disparaging address for a man or boy, was originally Sunny Jim. Jim was an energetic boy used to advertise a brand of breakfast cereal called Force in the early years of the 20th century. He was the winning entry in a competition run by the company to find a suitable character to promote the cereal. One slogan ran: ‘High o'er the fence leaps Sunny Jim / “Force” is the food that raises him.’
